In A Bug’s Life, a moving image installation by Tehran-born, Berlin-based artist Arash Nassiri, viewers are taken through a Beverly Hills mansion evoking the ostentatious, neoclassical style favoured by Los Angeles’ Iranian diaspora in the 1980s-90s.

Shot from the viewpoint of an insect puppet voiced by Nassiri’s mother, the film continues a body of work interrogating architecture, space, memory and migration, as well as the fading aesthetics of a lost urban life. The film will be shown as part of his first institutional solo exhibition at London’s Chisenhale Gallery.

## Readings & Performance

The third of three nights curated by writer, researcher, and radio host Nihal El Aasar in response to Nassiri’s new commission. London-based contributors will join Nihal for an exploration of memory and political resonance through words and sound.
